California lightning fires advance on towns

The fire crews deploying water-dropping helicopters made a defensive stand against flames raging in the foothills of the Napa Valley wine region as forecasts called for a return of dangerous high winds and hot weather.

Firefighters were battling the fire, which broke out near the resort community of Calistoga, north of San Francisco.
